A new amazing sport is making waves; pushing the limits of water sports by combining ingenious engineering and electronics, all in the aim of creating a new way to ride waves!

The great thing about jet surfing is that you don’t need the surfing skills of Kelly Slater or an Olympian body to participate is this amazing sport. Although these perks may come in handy 🙂 The bottom line here is that jet surfing is easy to learn, but difficult to master.

Most boards used to weigh about 15kg (very light), they nimble and highly responsive. Foot pads and straps fashioned from specialized memory foam can be found on the surface of the boards. This enables the rider to remain connected to their boards while in action.

According to Michal Lošťák, a manager at JetSurf: “The experience of Jet surfing is exactly what it sounds like: surfing with jet power. “It’s a massive adrenaline rush to accelerate on a board which, in terms of the power to weight ratio and the lack of friction, is one of the most powerful crafts of any type in the world.

Surfers are encouraged to practice within their limits and take the necessary precautions, including, riding with helmets and wearing life vests. It is a good thing to note that jet surfing is less risky and less dangerous compared to any other extreme sports.
